official plance lore keeper eh? got any fake marriage/dating fic recs? hehe
Anon, you seem the be the only person who knows what the Lore Keeper title means AND I LOVE YOU FOR IT.
SO. Surprisingly enough the plance fandom has really been dropping the ball on this trope. Guys c’mon.
These are my top 5, plus a bonus. In no particular order, because I can’t pick.
1. Il Bel ModelloLance is a famous model who likes to pick up his assistants, Pidge is his intern assistant and completely unflappable (at least, on the outside). Absolutely hilarious; love the plance interactions and the Pidge/Romelle roomies. It’s wonderful to watch Lance be so deep in denial yet slowly slide right into infatuation. Side Kallura. Ongoing.
2. To The Boy I Love by the very lovely @alwaysinsonderA To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before AU! (There are two others, but I haven’t read them yet). Except this follows the movie very loosely at best, so it’s full of twists and surprises (if you haven’t seen the movie it’s really just a high school AU). The relationship is built up so sweetly and the ending is satisfying as hell. Complete.
3. Howl at the Moon by the incredibly talented @sp4c3-0ddityFake marriage! One of my favourite fics for a very long time. Plance pretend to be married for a mission. Welcome to political intrigue, sci-fi action, and Pidge and Lance doing the Paladin Thing like Bosses, with a side of jealousy and miscommunication that’s balanced just right. The ending is very sweet and really captures the shyer side of their personalities, which is a lovely contrast to BAMFing with the guns. Awesome worldbuilding. Complete.
4. Mistletoe and Mixed FeelingsA more standard ‘fake dating’ fic – Lance needs to get his family off his back and claims to be dating Pidge. Pidge goes along with it because…well, she has ulterior motives. A huge fluff-fest, lots of family love, and damn it’s nice to see Pidge with a bit of game once in a while. Complete.
5. Just Five DaysAnother old favourite of mine! This is your standard ‘make the fam happy’ fake dating with a twist – Pidge is fake dating Keith, and Lance is fake dating Matt. The build-up between both ships (side Katt) is fraught with tension and I just love it. The author hasn’t updated in forever and I know they were feeling disillusioned about it, so if you read it please leave a comment because comments are encouraging.
BONUS FIC
The Rules of Robotics (And Love)Olllllllllld boarding school AU that’s technically incomplete but it’s really only missing the epilogue, and the author is still working on it. The slowest slow burn of your life. Like anon, I am not kidding. You will want to jump out windows,that’s how frustrating this is. You got your childhood friends, your fake dating, your family issues, your misunderstandings, EVERYTHING. The fake dating’s only for a couple of chapters in the middle-ish but it’s everything you want in fake dating, including bed-sharing.
Thanks for the ask anon! Feel free to come scream at me about any of these fics :D
i FINALLY decided to write what chance and cookie’s first kiss was like..

enjoy, random guess nation….

They REALLY make out, Chance is so awkward, Cookie is Freaked Out, Cute, Fluff, Love Confessions, Suggestive Themes, Canon Dialouge, Not all the way through though, Author has no regrets, Author doesn’t know how to have good pacing, be patient with me cheese and thank you, Comfort No Hurt
It had taken around half an hour, but Cookie finally managed to finish his first ever campaign with Chance. It was strenuous, considering that he hasn’t played G&G in literal years and chose a slightly more complex class for the session, but his work payed off. He managed to defeat Melvil and save the Bookshelf Bluff from ruin.
Chance was absolutely beaming, a sparkle in his eyes and a slight flush running across his cheeks, reaching up to the tips of his ears. He thought that Cookie would have a bit more trouble, but to his delight, that wasn’t the case! Cookie kept his head high and took his campaign so seriously and payed attention to every little detail. And Chance was all over him for it.
But, before Chance could confess, Lux spoke to their audience on their stream.
“Thanks for watching, my luxies! Remember to subscribe to my—“
“Hey, uhm— Lux? Forgive me for interrupting, but do you think you could continue your stream outside of the office? I have something I’d like to tell The Human in private, if you don’t mind.” Chance requested Lux, digging his nails into his thigh to keep himself calm.
Lux gave him a sassy eyeroll. “Ugh, fine. The office isn’t radiant enough for my stream, anyways.”
As Lux struts out of the office, Chance lets out a relieved exhale. His demeanor changes once Lux is gone, now looking more cheerful, dorky, and… infatuated.
“You were amazing! The way you just… AAAAH!!” Chance excitedly beamed at Cookie. “Sorry. I’m just so excited with how much fun we just had!”
Cookie chuckled at Chance’s nerdy ramblings. He gave him a smirk, eyeing him up and down.
“Hehe, don’t apologize. I had a lot of fun, too. You were such a great GM, Chance,” Cookie complimented, a hint of admiration in his tone.
Chance’s flush grew even deeper, leading him to cover his cheeks with his hands. He giggles at Cookie’s praise, swooning at just how much charm Cookie has. “Hehe, I do my best. In all honesty… I’m floored by you.”
With this remark, Cookie instantly has a heavy blush cover his face. A trickle of sweat goes down his face, not knowing how to respond to Chance.
Chance then gently takes Cookie’s hands in his, looking deeply into his eyes with love and admiration. “Listen, everything about you is perfect to me. Your love for G&G, your voice, your way of thinking… It’s all so incredible for me.”
Just… wow. How was Cookie supposed to respond to such flattery? He gulped out of pure nervousness, only managing to utter out Chance’s name under his breath.
“With you, I’d always be happy to do another campaign! Or, if you’d be interested mayhap, a different kind of roleplay?”
At this rate, Cookie’s face was practically burning with how hard he was blushing. Who knew that this hunk of a nerd could be so smooth? It was total whiplash compared to Chance’s dorkiness and geeky behavior before when the campaign was still being played out. It wasn’t at all unwelcome, however.
“We could move from the character sheets to the uhh… Other sheets?” Chance flirts, his glasses glinting.
Cookie tries to resist the urge to just kiss Chance right then and there. He can’t just say stuff like that and not expect a smooch! But of course, it all depended on what Cookie would say next. Cookie could either accept this request and become lovers or he could cockblock him and become friends with very awkward tension. You would have to be out of your mind to think that Cookie would choose the latter.
“Oh, I’d happily be down for that, you cute nerd.” Cookie flirts back, trying to make himself look more confident than he really was.
Chance’s face instantly goes beet red with this, pulling his hands away from Cookie’s hands. He never expected for this charisma check to go so well! Especially on someone as lovely as Cookie…
“Holy crit, really?! Oh dice, I’m so happy!” Chance sputtered with joy.
Cookie smiles warmly at Chance, enjoying his nerdy behavior. Chance then tries to regain his composure, now looking a bit more serious. His face is still extremely red, but his expression is more stern, but not in a scary or intimidating way.
“Cookie… Do you think I could try… kissing you?” Chance nervously requests.
“Hehe, of course you can.” Cookie quickly accepts, biting his lip.
“Okay, cool!! Uhm.. Let me just…” Chance mutters to himself, getting out of his seat. He than sat himself on Cookie’s lap, placing both of his hands on Cookie’s shoulders.
Chance breathes in and out as an attempt to calm himself down. After doing so, Chance closes his eyes and slowly leans in. Cookie does the same, also closing his eyes, but staying still to wait for Chance to kiss him.
Chance leans in closer and closer, his nose lightly brushing against Cookie’s. The two can feel their lips just barely touching. But, eventually, Chance pauses.
With this, Cookie’s eyes open, trying to make sure that Chance is doing alright. Chance looks incredibly embarrassed, eyes now open looking away from Cookie. Cookie tilts his head to the side out of confusion.
Chance can only nervously nod his head up and down in response, feeling like this is the most embarrassing thing he could’ve ever admitted.
“It’s all good, Chance. Here, let me help you,” Cookie replies, gently holding onto the back of Chance’s head, trying to pull him in for a kiss. But, it quickly goes wrong. Since the two are both wearing glasses, their lenses collide and results in the two bumping heads against one another.
They both quickly pull away from each other, rubbing at their heads. Cookie was so down bad that he forgot that he was technically wearing glasses, making their first attempt to kiss each other more difficult.
“Ugh, shit… My bad. I came off too fast, didn’t I?” Cookie questions, feeling ashamed of himself.
“No, it’s not your fault, my dear. Here, why don’t I take my glasses off and we can try again?” Chance requests.
“I’d like that a lot. But, wait— Don’t you need your glasses to see?”
“Actually, no! It helps with my migraines, not vision. I can see just fine, darling.”
Cookie lets out an exhale of relief. “Oh, good.”
With this, Chance removes his glasses and places them on the table behind him. Cookie uses this as an opportunity to admire his eyes. He had heavy eye bags, bug that didn’t undermine his natural beauty. His eyes were a ruby-red color, barely glistening in the dim light of the office. Chance’s triangle-shaped pupils look deeply into Cookie’s eyes with pure infatuation and need.
“God, you’re so handsome, Chance,” Cookie praises.
“You as well, my love,” Chance reciprocates.
Cookie then leans in and kisses Chance, making sure to not be too passionate or forceful. Chance reciprocates, one of his hands now placed on Cookie’s face. Cookie’s left hand plays with Chance’s short brown hair, while his right is placed on Chance’s lower back.
The kiss is sweet and simple, like that of their first campaign together. The two nerds currently are only focused on each other. Right now, nothing else is relevant. Only this loving moment between them does.
Sooner than either of them would like, Chance pulls away, allowing them to catch their breath. The two lovingly look at each other once more, both smiling sweetly at the other.
Then, quicker than Chance could process, Cookie pulls him in for yet another kiss. This time, it’s much more passionate and lustful. Chance reciprocates once more, both of his own hands now holding onto Cookie’s face. While Cookie’s right hand moves lower to squeeze at Chance’s ass, Cookie slips his tongue into Chance’s mouth.
Chance lets out a moan at this, legs turning to jelly. While the two proceed to eat face, the office chair squeaks underneath their combined weight. Cookie begins to gently pull at Chance’s hair, making sure to not be too forceful. Chance whimpers at this gesture, now moving his right hand to hold onto Cookie’s waist.
Chance’s face is so hot with blush that it’d be a miracle he hasn’t passed out, especially considering how fast his heart is pumping and sweaty his hands are. Cookie gets more confident, taking more control over their kissing while making sure that Chance is comfortable. After all, he wants this to be a good experience for the both of them.
The two are clearly enjoying themselves, noises so intimate escaping from both of their mouths that it would make even Ben-Hwa blush. A drop of sweat drops from Cookie’s forehead, a shaky breath let out by Chance. The make out session between them is hot, steamy, and quite adventurous, if you will.
Finally, Cookie pulls away, both of them panting heavily. Chance fans at his fave with his hands, still very red with blush.
“Wow… Holy crit… That was incredible..” Chance swooned, trying to catch his breath while speaking.
Cookie chuckles at Chance, wiping some saliva off of his chin with his sleeve. But, a hint of uncertainty peaks into Cookie’s mind, leading him to speak to Chance.
“I uhh.. I didn’t go too far, did I? This was your first kiss and I just wanna make sure I didn’t fuck it up for you.” Cookie questions, his lustful look now being replaced with concern and a slight speck of fear.
“Not at all, my mighty hero. I wouldn’t have had it any other way.”
Cookie smiles at Chance’s response. “Good, I’m glad.”
Chance then pulls Cookie in for a loving hug. Cookie nuzzles into the crook of Chance’s neck, breathing in Chance’s scent. It calms Cookie’s nerves, replacing the freakiness he felt before.
